The entire acre is now planted, after adding potatoes, squash, punkins, melons, beans, and all kinds of seeds. Luckily we finally got some water up to the field - the work that was done on the dam created only turbulent spots from which to draw the water to irrigate, and the air bubbles kept the pump from getting a good suck. We have a stopgap, thanks to Jerry's hard work and ingenuity and a neighbor's gas-powered Honda pump. Now everything is on its way - our job is to keep watering and to start weeding, since it seems that the weeds are so much happier to establish themselves than the crops. Why is that?
